The period drama series Versailles, which originally aired on BBC Two, is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. The show, set in 1667, follows King Louis XIV of France as he consolidates power and navigates a world of betrayal, love, and war.
Despite a loyal UK audience and an 86% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Versailles has been described by the Los Angeles Times as 'the best show you never watched'. The Guardian called it a 'trashy, extravagant romp', while the San Francisco Chronicle praised its 'powerful and compelling characters'.
The series stars Alexander Vlahos and George Blagden, with Vlahos noting that his role as Philippe d'Orléans was 'probably the most physically and emotionally demanding role I've ever had'. The show concluded in 2018 but maintains a strong fanbase.
